public interface Device extends Node
A device is a specialization of a node that represents a physical IT resource with processing capability. It is typically used to model hardware systems such as mainframes, PCs, or routers.
Usually, they are part of a node together with system software. Devices may be composite; i.e., consist of sub-devices.
Devices can be interconnected by networks. Devices can be assigned to artifacts and to system software, to model that artifacts and system software are deployed on that device.
A node can contain one or more devices.
The name of a device should preferably be a noun referring to the type of hardware; e.g., "IBM System z mainframe".
Different icons may be used to distinguish between different types of devices; e.g. mainframes and PCs.
